Thanks again, Rob, I'm afraid that this issue is still not going away, Here is the results of the "perl Makefile.PL" in cpan [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.cpan/build/Tk-804.028-r9jDlm# perl Makefile.PL /usr/bin/perl is installed in /usr/lib/perl/5.8 okay PPM for perl5.008008 Test Compiling config/perlrx.c Test Compiling config/pmop.c Test Compiling config/pregcomp2.c Test Compiling config/signedchar.c Test Compiling config/Ksprintf.c Test Compiling config/tod.c Test Compiling -DTIMEOFDAY_TZ config/tod.c TZ gettimeofday() Using -L/usr/lib to find /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0 Cannot find X include files via /usr/include Cannot find X include files anywhere at ./myConfig line 369. Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 37. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 39. Any ideas? Thanks!
